The Sweet Way You Show You Care, According To Your Zodiac Sign

We all put our unique touch on everything we do; no one does the same exact thing as anybody else, even when it’s still very similar. What we do and how we act are unique to us.

And when it comes to how the zodiac signs show they care, they don’t demonstrate love in the same way. Every individual has their own way of showing they care, and it may not be obvious to another person, even if their horoscope indicates otherwise.

But communication is crucial to any relationship, and sometimes it seems impossible to understand one another. This is where astrology can be helpful. Since so much of our behavior and actions have to do with the sign we’re born under, knowing how the zodiac signs show they care can be useful.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

You get super-protective when you care about someone, to the point where you would get in a fight or argument for them. You definitely want them to know you have their back. One of the biggest ways you show you care is by taking them on adventures or giving them memorable experiences.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

When you care about someone, you show them by cooking for them or baking them a special treat, sending them flowers, or checking in via text message. You also discreetly touch them — a friendly hug, a touch on their shoulder, or even brushing the hair out of their eyes.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

It seems simple enough that when you care about someone you talk to them. You like conversation, so it's not that much of a stretch. However, when you really care about someone, you listen more than you speak, you ask questions, and are very interested in the answers.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

When you really care about someone, you can't get enough of them and want to be around them all the time. You make yourself available to listen to their problems or celebrate their victories. You want them to realize how much better their life is with you in it.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)

When you care about someone, your normal generosity becomes magnified. You want to shower them with expensive yet thoughtful gifts. You want them to know without a doubt that you care for them and that you'll be there for them whenever they should need you.

Money really is no object when it comes to presents that show your appreciation for someone.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

When you care about someone, you may not tell them that directly, but you'll show it in how useful and helpful you are. If they're having a problem with anything or need help with a project, you're there to save the day.

If they aren't aware that they need your help, you'll find something. Maybe they haven't backed up their computer in a while or they need help hosting a party, and you're there for them.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)

You show that you care in the way you open up to someone. You want to share everything about your life so they can get to know you. You also want them to know they're special and that you don't open up to just anyone.

You can do so on the surface, but if you really care about someone, you want to go deeper and make a real connection with them.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)

If they've had a hard day, you take them for a foot massage, or if they've had a small victory, you help them celebrate. You surprise them when they need something to energize them a little bit, and you give them attention when they don't think they deserve any.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)

When you care about someone, you stick around. You like to be constantly on the move, and experiencing new places and people, but when you care about someone, you try to be there for them.

When they talk to you, you're present and you don't pretend to listen while daydreaming about your next big adventure. You want them to know that they can depend on you, even when things get tough or complicated.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

You may actually get a little shy and tongue-tied. You worry that you'll say the wrong thing or come off too strong, so you may be a little nervous around them. If you know the person you care about very well, you can relax and give them the benefit of your wisdom.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)

You're a naturally caring person, so if you really want to show someone you care, you intensify it. You show them extra compassion and you express your feelings in song, writing, and special art projects inspired by them.

You're comfortable thinking outside the box, so there's no telling what creative thing you're going to come up with.
